The North Garden of the Marquis of Anping's residence—if you only hear the name, well, it sounds like a pretty nice place!
I think it should be pretty good!
However, the North Garden of the Marquis of Anping's residence was not a good place. It had been uninhabited for a long time, was dilapidated, and had been almost forgotten by the people of the Marquis's residence. The dust was three feet thick.
It was left over from the past. After it fell into disrepair, it was no longer repaired for various reasons and was gradually forgotten. Few people would go there on ordinary days.
Places where no one walks around are desolate and eerie at night!
However, with a little cleaning, it's still manageable for a while, but the environment won't be comparable to where I currently live.
Although Su Mingyue and Luo Xiaoniang were of relatively low status and were considered quite low-key and good at interpersonal relationships in the eyes of the people in the mansion, they were anything but frugal in private and lived a much more comfortable life than many others in the mansion!
Naturally, they haven't experienced many hardships, at least not in recent years.
Spoiled and pampered, never lifting a finger to do housework—that's a true reflection of them.
They would never want to live in that dilapidated place.
Why should I?
Given their status and the fact that they haven't done anything wrong, and without any substantial evidence, they shouldn't be punished arbitrarily!
That place is absolutely uninhabitable!
Snakes, rats, insects, and ants are everywhere; there's not even a place to put your feet. How can you sleep?
This is outrageous!
If they really move, how will the people in the mansion view them?
Will they ever be able to work properly again?
It's like pressing their faces to the ground and rubbing them back and forth!
They trampled on them like this, they didn't care about them at all!
How could we possibly tolerate this!
The people in the manor are used to changing their tune depending on the wind. By doing this, they are clearly showing that they have fallen out of favor and lost power!
Then those people will stop respecting and being polite to them, and will start praising the high and belittling the low!
Do they even want to live?
"This is the old lady's decision! There's no room for discussion! Pack your things and move out immediately! You should know the reasons better than this old woman does, so I won't go into them. Whether you like it or not, you have to move today, so get moving while it's still early!"
The speaker was a dignified old woman who did not directly confront Su Mingyue and her daughter. She lowered her eyebrows, appearing very respectful, but she seemed more distant, neither sad nor happy, and quite indifferent.
Anyway, there's no rush. People who haven't experienced great storms won't have this kind of temperament.
They didn't miss a single detail of the proper etiquette.
This person is Aunt Qiu, who serves Madam Su.
Madam Su had Aunt Siji by her side, who had been with her since she married into the family, but now only Aunt Xiaqiu remained.
Within the household, the two aunts held very high positions, and most people dared not be disrespectful or presumptuous towards them, because they represented the face of the old lady.
But now, Su Mingyue and Luo Xiaoniang are angry and very resistant to moving, and their words and actions are often disrespectful.
Aunt Qiu pretended not to see it and let them be angry for a while. Once they stopped, she quietly spoke her own words.
She delivered the message; whether or not it was carried out was her responsibility. If it wasn't carried out, someone else would take care of it.
So, after delivering her message, Aunt Qiu turned and left gracefully.
The mother and daughter were left standing there, at a loss.
Let them struggle with their dilemma: move or not?
Outraged, Luo Xiaoniang went to see Marquis Anping again, but as always, she was refused an audience.
She was naturally unwilling to give up since she hadn't seen the person. The only person Luo Xiaoniang could think of was Marquis Anping. She really couldn't count on anyone else in the manor.
She didn't like to associate with others in the past and had no close relationships with them. Besides, as a concubine, she was a competitor in herself. Who in the mansion was truly sincere?
Luo Xiaoniang understands things very well and lives life with great clarity, which is why she lives such a comfortable life!
She always knew that Marquis Anping was not someone she could rely on; if it weren't for her status, she wouldn't be staying here.
But now it seems that her powerful backer has also run into trouble and can't be contacted, so he can't help her at all. The only person she can rely on is Marquis Anping.
In the past, Geng Yuepeng would know about even the slightest thing she did and would take the initiative to handle it for her, so that she wouldn't have any worries!
Now, not only can we not see the person, but we also lose all information about them!
Luo Xiaoniang was extremely panicked, feeling that she and her daughter were really going to be completely abandoned!
After lingering for a long time, she encountered Su Luolin passing by. Luo Xiaoniang's mind immediately started working on it. Perhaps she could try to win over the young master!
Now that the eldest son is in charge, even the Lady of the Marquis doesn't care much about the affairs of the manor. In other words, it would be better to find the eldest son!
Unfortunately, Su Luolin saw through Luo Xiaoniang's intentions at a glance, and before she could speak, he spoke first.
"Why is Aunt Luo still here? It's getting late. If we don't move soon, it might be too late to pack! Although the North Garden is a bit remote, it's still habitable. It's not raining now, so it won't leak! Besides, it's the Marquis's territory, so it's very safe. People often go there, so it's not desolate! We should get moving while it's still early!"
"Father, you don't need to look for him anymore. I can't find him anywhere, and I can't interfere in his affairs. It's no use looking for him; he's no longer involved in anything! It was my suggestion to move you to the North Garden; you should thank me! Grandmother is considering having you leave the Marquis's residence. Your birthdays are considered unlucky for the Marquis's residence, and the head chef has also pointed it out. We have to consider everyone in the Marquis's residence! I insisted you move first to see how it goes. If there are no problems, we'll discuss it further!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoniang felt a sharp pain in her chest from anger. It turned out that they were really about to be abandoned by the Marquis's mansion!
snort!
They're all birds of a feather!
And you're even thanking me!
Maybe these people wrote and directed their own play!
The goal was to drive the mother and daughter out of the mansion while preserving a good reputation!
Pooh!
Don't assume she's unaware of all these intricacies!
These people had already made all the plans, proceeding step by step without anyone noticing, but people had already fallen into the trap!
I used to think the eldest son's smile was like a gentle breeze, and he was a fine young man. But now I see that his smile is cunning and treacherous, a smile that hides a knife!
They're definitely up to no good!
Su Luolin could easily see through Luo Xiaoniang's thoughts. He maintained a bright smile on the surface, but inwardly he was snorting!
What utter nonsense!
Do you really think everyone is blinded by lard and has lost their reason?
When there are benefits to be had, he never thinks of the Marquis's mansion; he only thinks of taking advantage of it!
They have one set of rules in public and another in private; they're really good at playing games and treating people like monkeys!
In the past, weren't all the people in the Marquis's mansion kind and pure? If they were hurt, wouldn't they wake up?
This is just the beginning; there's more fun to come!
"I'm not feeling well, can we go somewhere else?"
